Does the law/regulation require or exempt fishing vessels to keep VMS turned on, or is there no provision?
Article 32
Translated text:Any vessel fishing in waters under Ivorian jurisdiction is required to install on board or possess a positioning and localization device in perfect working order.
This device must be compatible with the equipment of the Fisheries Monitoring Center of Côte d'Ivoire.
The organization and operation of the satellite-based positioning and localization system for fishing vessels are established by an order from the Minister in charge of fisheries.
